== Indications ==
 +
<p style="text-align:justify;">Yapana basti is indicated for purification ([[Shodhana|shodhana]]), nourishment ([[Brimhana|brimhana]]) with  proper functioning of [[Vayu mahabhuta|vayu]] (vata anulomana). These are mridu basti. [Cha. Sa. [[Siddhi Sthana|Siddhi Sthana]] 12/29], hence these are indicated in [[Vyadhi|diseases]] due to [[Vata dosha|vata]] [[Pitta dosha|pitta]] vitiation and depletion of [[Shukra dhatu|shukra]] and [[Mamsa dhatu|mamsa dhatu]] (ksheena). <br/>It is indicated in following conditions: </p>
 +
<ol style="text-align:justify;"><li>Vishama [[Jwara Chikitsa|jvara]] [Cha. Sa. [[Chikitsa Sthana|Chikitsa Sthana]] 3/302]<br/>
 +
Visham jwara is a condition where both [[Bala|strength (bala)]] of [[Dosha|dosha]] and [[Dhatu|dhatu]] are diminished. Hence these types of fevers come intermittently.</li>
 +
<li>Halimaka [Cha. Sa. [[Chikitsa Sthana|Chikitsa Sthana]] 16/136]<br/>
 +
Halimaka is state where [[Vata dosha|vata]] and [[Pitta dosha|pitta]] are excessively increased and have excessive [[Bala|bala]] – shukra kshaya, redering the patient in very critical condition.</li>
 +
<li>Avrutta [[Vata dosha|vata]]  [Cha. Sa. [[Chikitsa Sthana|Chikitsa Sthana]] 28/240]<br/>
 +
Long standing conditions of avrutta [[Vayu mahabhuta|vayu]] inevitabely lead to emaciation of [[Dhatu|dhatu]] ([[Shosha Nidana|shosha]]). Here yapan is used to increase [[Dhatu|dhatu]] as well as to achieve sroto [[Shodhana|shodhana]] and [[Vata dosha|vata]] anulomana.</li>
 +
<li>Jara sambhavaja klaibya  [Cha. Sa. [[Chikitsa Sthana|Chikitsa Sthana]] 30/203]<br/>
 +
Jara is a condition where [[Rasa dhatu|rasa dhatu]] is unable to nourish all other [[Dhatu|dhatus]] </li>
 +
<li>Pain in lower half of [[Sharira|body]] <br/>
 +
It eradicates pain from rectum, thighs, knee joints, scrotum and bladder. (Payu janu uru vrushan basti shulnut) [Aas. Hru. [[Kalpa Sthana|Kalpa Sthana]] 4/29]</li></ol>
 +
Sushruta Samhita advise yapan basti in following condition: [Su.Sa. [[Chikitsa Sthana|Chikitsa Sthana]] 38/111]

== Method of preparation ==

<li>Basti netra (nozzle)</li>
 +
<li>Gloves</li>
 +
<li>Cotton cloth</li>
 +
<li>Mortal & pastel</li></ul>
 +
<li>Ingredients of [[Basti|basti]]</li>
 +
<ol><li>In case of yapana basti, medicated milk (sidhdha ksheera) is used in place of [[Kashaya|kashaya]] (decoction)</li>
 +
<li>Honey, mamsa rasa, [[Ghee|ghee]] are other major ingredients used in yapana basti.</li></ol>
 +
<li>Procedure to formulate & administration of basti:</li></ol>
 +
 +
=== Pre-procedure: ===
 +
<ol type="A" style="text-align:justify;"><li>Preparation of patient</li>
 +
<li>Preparation of [[Basti|basti]].</li></ol>
 +
<ol type="A" style="text-align:justify;"><li style="font-weight: bold;">Preparation of patient: <br/><span style="font-weight: normal;">After the evacuation of bladder and bowels, local massage and fomentation on pelvic region shall be done.</span></li>
 +
<li style="font-weight: bold;">Preparation of basti:<br/><span style="font-weight: normal;">First of all, the dravyas soaked in warm water for overnight then next morning milk and water should be added with the measurement 1:8:16 and kept for boiling upto ashtamansh shoshit (..).
 +
<br/>This siddha ksheera is kept nearby. Then take morter and pestle and add [[Lavana|lavan]] and triturate it properly then add makshik followed by sneh (ghrut/tail/vasa) followed by kalka (various aushadhi) and then sidhdh ksheera. Make homogenous mixture of it by continuous stirring of morter within pestle. The proportion of [[Dravya|dravyas]] are as per classical list.
 +
</span></li></ol>
 +
 +
=== Main procedure (pradhana karma) and  post procedure (pashchat karma): ===
 +
<p style="text-align:justify;">The procedure for administration of yapana basti and post therapeutic protocol are same as like therapeutic enema ([[Basti|basti]]).
 +
<br/>Some clinical research suggests that average retention time of yapan basti is 92 minutes.(Gajanan Kulkarni) </p>
 +
 +
=== Adverse effect and it’s management: ===
 +
<p style="text-align:justify;">The improper administration of yapana basti can lead to following adverse effects like oedema, loss of digestive power, anemia, pain, hemorrhoids, proctalgia/fissure in ano, fever, diarrhea.
 +
<br/>In such cases, patients are treated with medicinal formulations like [[Arishta|arishta]], kshira, [[Sidhu|sidhu]]. All the treatment planned should be aimed at increasing the power of digestion. [Cha.Sa. [[Siddhi Sthana|Siddhi Sthana]] 2/31]
 +
<br/>Sometime due to its mild nature (mrudutva), the yapana basti does not get eliminated out of [[Sharira|body]]. Then immediately another asthapana basti with cow urine (gomutra) and other sharply acting agents (tikshna dravyas) should be administered.</p>
 +
 +
=== Time of administration ===
 +
Yapana basti can be given at all times and after meal also.
 +
 +
== Practical application and rationale behind using of yapana basti ==
 +
<p style="text-align:justify;">Among all these [[Vyadhi|diseases]] which are mentined above, there is obvious loss of one or more components ([[Dhatu|dhatu]]) of the [[Sharira|body]]. Moreover, all these dieases are chronic in nature.
 +
<br/>The following phenomena appear in this type of [[Vyadhi|diseases]] due to the damage to [[Sharira|body]] components that has already taken place (dhatukshaya) and prolonged presence of the [[Vyadhi|disease]] in the [[Sharira|body]].</p>
 +
<ol style="text-align:justify;"><li>[[Vata dosha|Vata dosha]] rages very strongly (vayurdhatukshayatkopo). This overpowered vayu carries [[Pitta dosha|pitta]] and [[Kapha dosha|kapha dosha]] to different parts of [[Sharira|body]] [Cha. Sa. [[Chikitsa Sthana|Chikitsa Sthana]] 28/60] and gets obstructed by them. Once it gets obstructed there, [[Vayu mahabhuta|vayu]] starts absorbing and emaciating the [[Dhatu|dhatu]] present there. [Cha.Sa. [[Chikitsa Sthana|Chikitsa Sthana]] 28/61]
 +
<br/>This extension in the pathology of original [[Vyadhi|disease]] gives rise to more depletion of [[Dhatu|dhatu]] (dhatu kshaya) and causing new symptoms or [[Vyadhi|disease]].
 +
<br/>It means that the original [[Vyadhi|disease]] becomes more serious. If we look at these [[Vyadhi|diseases]] like halimaka, vishama [[Jwara Chikitsa|jvara]] etc., these all are fatal in nature, because such type of extended pathophysiology.</li>
 +
<li>Prolonged [[Vyadhi|disease]] condition with extension of [[Dosha|dosha]] in all over [[Sharira|body]] involves all other systems in [[Sharira|body]] in [[Vyadhi|disease]] process. This makes the original [[Vyadhi|disease]] multisystemic disorder, and this can cause critical condition of the patient. </li>
 +
<li>From the discussion, so far it is clear that the following things happen in all of the above mentioned [[Vyadhi|diseases]] :</li>
 +
<ol type="a"><li>Great loss of [[Sharira|body]] components in a progressive way</li>
 +
<li>Very strong dominance of [[Vata dosha|vata]] in pathogenesis due to dhatukshaya and [[Avarana|avarana]] as well.</li>
 +
<li>Multi system involvement</li>
 +
<li>A huge fall in strength of [[Sharira|body]]. (balaadhishthanam aarogyam) [Cha.Sa. [[Chikitsa Sthana|Chikitsa Sthana]] 3]</li></ol></ol>
 +
<p style="text-align:justify;">Now considering the treatment of these conditions, there needs to be a treatment that has, nourishment ([[Brimhana|brimhana]]), strengthening power (balya), pacifying [[Vayu mahabhuta|vayu]] ([[Vata dosha|vata]] [[Shamana|shamana]]), anulomana and clearing the channels (srotoshodhan) property.
 +
<br/>Yapan basti hits all these criteria to treat these ailments surely.
 +
<br/>This clearing of channels (srotoshodhana), provides lubrication ([[Snehana (unction therapy)|snehana]]), [[Vata dosha|vata]] anulomana, nourishment ([[Brimhana|brimhana]]) and strengthening power (balya). Yapan basti becomes a radical therapy there.</p>
 +
 +
== Things to be avoided during yapan basti therapy ==
 +
Vyayama – exercise
 +
<br/>Maithuna – sexual activities       
 +
<br/>Madya – alcoholic beverages
 +
<br/>Madhu – honey
 +
<br/>Shishira ambu –Intake of cold water
 +
<br/>Rath kshobha – travelling
